Cookies

We use "cookies" to enhance functionality, to keep track of your visits, provide personalised features and as part of the identification process for our online services.

A cookie is a small data file that contains information about your visit to a website. This information is provided by your computer during you first visit to a web server. The server records this information in a text file and stores this file on your hard drive. When you visit the same website again, the server looks for the cookie and structures itself based on the information provided. A cookie only identifies your computer to a web server when you visit the site; they do not identify users.

Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to warn you before accepting cookies. If you have set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser - check your technical requirements for details.

If your browser is configured to reject all cookies, you will be unable to use services on this website that requires cookies in order to participate. You may still be able to use some information only pages if you do not accept cookies.

Security

We maintain strict standards and security procedures to prevent unauthorised access to your personal information and ensure correct use of information. We use encryption technology to ensure your information is protected when being sent over the internet. Access to your personal information is protected from unauthorised access through the use of a login name and secure password and, before personal information (such as examination results) are published on the site, visitors are required to enter their student number as well. This is to ensure that the information is only displayed to the intended person. You should not divulge your secure password to anyone.

While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of any information that you transmit to us over the internet and you do so at your own risk. However, once we receive your transmission, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your information is secure on our systems and those of our agents.

Your access to your information

Generally, you may access and update your personal information at any time, once you have logged in.

Kaplan will always try to maintain accurate, complete and up-to-date information regarding students and staff. There are procedures in place which facilitate amendments and verification of personal information. If you think that your personal information retained by Kaplan may require changing or updating, please contact us. We will then take all reasonable steps to correct the information so that it is accurate, complete and up-to-date.

Complaints

If you have a complaint regarding the way in which your personal information is being handled by us, please contact us in the first instance. If we are unable to reach a satisfactory solution through negotiation, you may wish to request an independent person to investigate the complaint, such as the Privacy Commissioner.
